The beet finds its origins from Southern Europe and Babylon and has gone in and out of popularity throughout the ages.  Present day, 20% of the sugars produced in the world come from beets, and most of that is produced in Poland.

Great sweet flavor, juicy crunch, long storage life.  Slightly tapered roots have good uniformity, bright orange color and strong, healthy tops.

We love making fries with this vegetable.  Don’t cook it too long or they get too soft!

Black radish is one of the staples in our home over the winter.  It grows super fast without much hassle and stores for a very long time in our fridge.  No need for some fancy cold storage space to keep these.  We love to grate the root vegetable and mix it with other roots and lettuces to keep us nice and healthy throughout the winter months.  We feel good about it being a local veg in the month of April.

Good for digestion and helps to cleanse the liver, the black radish grows to about 5″ round and fits perfectly into your veg drawer in the fridge.  We love to just cast the seeds out, water away and watch them grow with very little maintenance.  Great for kids gardens as they don’t need to work too hard to get a crop out of it.

This rutabaga is renowned for its flavour and texture, smooth and easy to cook with.  It goes well in casseroles, soups and as a side dish, mashed!  The origins of this root vegetable are not quite clear.  It seems that is may be a natural hybrid between the wild cabbage and the wild turnip in Northern Europe.  It likes cold climates so the running theory is that it is from Sweden or the Scandinavian regions.
